The people in favor of animal testing say that it is necessary to discover new medicines, and test new products. They argue that animal testing saves lives, and that it helps to discover cures and products. However, most animal tests are wrong, or unsuccessful. In fact, very few medical breakthroughs have been made because of animal testing. There are many failures; as many as half of the drugs approved in the UK by animal testing have to be recalled because of harmful side effects (Dixon 1). Advocates of animal testing are clearly wrong.
